Chapter 279
At nine o'clock in the morning.
The interior of the dojo was so clean that not a speck of dust could be seen.
On the small balcony on the third floor, Luca and Hamza were sitting face to face. They played a game of chess, but neither of them had the mood to continue.
In the end, the two elders leaned against the window and sneaked a peek in the direction of the door. Eliza was wearing a white Tao robe, standing straight at the door with several attendants of the dojo. Eliza used to have long black hair, and she always liked to tie it into a ponytail. The current Cerys had a fresh, neat short hair and she looked dashing.
He looked at his daughter's slender back and couldn't help but smack his lips. “Luca, she's so formal now. Is she really waiting for Roseane or showing off for Beau to see?"
Luca curled his lips and snorted. "Of course it's for her friend!"
"You don't understand her!"
"She said that she doesn't care about Beau, so she really doesn't care about Beau anymore. Don't think so highly of him in her heart!"
As he spoke, he recalled what had happened in Sage City.
Luca could not help but roll his eyes at Hamza and said, "You're the only one who plotted against your own daughter for an outsider.’
"You're turning your elbow outwards.”
Hamza gave him a cold look. "Try turning your elbow inward? Those who don't turn outwards are all disabled!"
Luca: "You're the disabled one!"
The two old men quarreled for a long time, and then Hamza sighed heavily. He turned to Luca and said, "How's your investigation going?”
Luca paused, and his face, which had never been serious, finally became serious.
"I've found it."
"The medicine you and Eliza were drugged with is from the same place- "It's from a foreign laboratory called K- "The K laboratory was founded in the year you were in trouble. The boss behind the scenes is a woman named K.
She has been elusive these years, and no one knows her exact movements.’
"But what can be found is..."
Luca took a deep breath. "Elias was a mercenary in those days."
"More than ten years ago, K hired Elias's group to assassinate Shreya.’
"But at that time, Shreya was well prepared and laid an ambush.
"At that time, Elias was the commander, and vice commander was Liam. Shreya had planned to trap them in the forest for a few days, but due to the vice commander's wrong judgment, they lost their way in the forest, leaving only Elias alive in the end."
"His comrades-in-arms were almost completely annihilated. After that incident, Elias left the mercenary team and returned to the Valentine family.”
"On the one hand, he returned to Krine to be the Second Young Master of Valentine family. On the other hand, with the help of K, he was able to set up LY Group in Sage City."
"That is to say, the purpose of the establishment of the company Is to target the Chapman family.”
"What a pity..."
Luca sighed and looked at the Maserati parked at the door with the Valentine family symbol.
"Unfortunately, the one who can punish Elias is someone from the Valentine family.’
If it weren't for Beau's Sahil Group, the Chapman family wouldn't have been able to survive this time so easily. The death of his comrades in the past made Elias hate the Chapman family to the core.
After Shreya became a vegetable, the Chapman family had no leader. They could only rely on the engagement with the Benton family to maintain the last glimmer of hope.
If Beau hadn't appeared in time...
Even if the Chapman family won the struggle with LY Group, it would still be a pyrrhic victory. It was impossible for them to escape unscathed.
"He is not a member of the Valentine family.’
Hamza stared at the black Maserati and sighed.
"If Vincent knew that the woman was pregnant when she left him... he wouldn't have made that decision, would he?"
He sighed and looked down at Beau who was getting off the car.
"He looks exactly the same as Vincent.’
Speaking of this, he took a sip of the tea. "But I hope that in the future, he will not be like his father, Vincent, who has been involved in so many romantic affairs and ended up paying his own life."
At the entrance of the Wushu Pavilion.
Eliza stood under the big sun for nearly an hour before the familiar black Maserati finally stopped at the entrance of the dojo.
The car door opened.
Beau, who was dressed in a black suit, was the first to get off the car. He opened the door of the passenger seat and smiled at Eliza.
"I'm sorry, Miss Wood.’
"Roseane's IV therapy was a little slow in the morning and it delayed the time.’ Eliza paused and smiled. “It's alright.”
Actually, even if she had to wait another hour, she could still wait.
After all, Roseane was a patient.
It was just that...
She frowned and looked at Roseane, who was sitting alone in the back seat. "Did you send her here alone?"
Where was Matthew?
Beau's hand paused for a moment.
After a long while, he sighed, and there was some helplessness in his voice.
"Roseane's husband, my nephew, Matthew, had his leg broken by a bad guy not long ago."
"Now his legs are inconvenient, so he needs to rest.’
"So from now on, I'll be responsible for sending and picking up Roseane every day.’
Eliza was stunned and frowned.
"Matthew's leg was broken!?"
Matthew was the eldest grandson of the Valentine family, the largest family in Krine.
Moreover, ever since it was revealed that Beau was not Jory's biological son, Matthew's status had risen as well. How could Matthew, such a powerful man, have his leg broken?
"He was beaten by Elias."
As if he could see through Eliza's confusion, Beau helped Roseane off the car and sighed lightly.
"Matthew has been taking mercy on Elias for the sake that he was his uncle.”
"But I didn't expect Elias to show no mercy at all.”
"In addition, he is a retired mercenary... In fact, Matthew couldn't beat him at all. Moreover, he was ambushed... so his leg was broken.
By the time he finished speaking, Roseane had already gotten out of the car.
She widened her eyes and looked at the woman with birthmarks and black spots on her face.
If not for Beau, who told her long ago that this was Eliza.
She would definitely take a step back in fright and hid far away!
Roseane understood Eliza's intention to avoid Beau.
But...
Roseane looked at the face of the woman in front of her, and her delicate facial features were slightly distorted. Even if she pretended to be ugly and wore special makeup...
There was no need to be so ugly!
Looking at Roseane's shocked eyes, Eliza subconsciously touched her face and smiled with some embarrassment. "Tam... a little ugly."
